What People are Saying About This

"Turner, who has taught literature herself for many years, writes with elegant precision and the leisurely pacing of the book perfectly captures the lengthened days of the aging. Understated and unsentimental, Winter Birds is a quietly memorable novel about quiet grace."--(Peter J. Leithart, Touchstone)
